What This Skill Does

The Apollo enrichment skill is a powerful integration for OpenClaw that connects your AI agent to the Apollo.io API. Its primary purpose is to provide deep, actionable insights into professional contacts and corporate organizations. By leveraging Apollo's vast database, the skill allows you to retrieve verified contact details, including work and personal email addresses, direct phone numbers, job titles, and LinkedIn profiles. Beyond individuals, the skill provides extensive organizational data such as company industry, revenue, employee count, funding history, and technology stacks. This makes it an essential tool for sales teams, recruiters, and business researchers who need to verify lead information or perform automated market analysis directly within their workflow.

Installation

To integrate the Apollo skill into your environment, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have an active Apollo.io account and generate an API key from the Apollo Integrations settings page.
2. Add your credentials to your environment variables by running export APOLLO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here in your terminal.
3. Install the skill using the OpenClaw repository command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/capt-marbles/apollo-enrichment.
4. Verify the installation by running a simple company lookup to ensure the API connection is authenticated.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for growth and research operations. Typical use cases include:

• Lead Enrichment: Automatically turning a list of names or emails into high-fidelity lead profiles for CRM updates.
• Market Research: Quickly identifying the scale, funding, and tech stack of target companies when performing competitive analysis or account-based marketing.
• Outbound Prospecting: Finding specific decision-makers, such as CTOs or VPs of Sales, within particular industries or geographic regions to populate outreach lists.
• Data Cleansing: Updating outdated contact information in your existing records by re-enriching them through the Apollo backend.

Example Prompts

• "Enrich [email protected] with Apollo and give me his phone number and job title."
• "What is the current employee count and funding round for stripe.com?"
• "Find all CTOs at fintech startups based in New York City with more than 50 employees."

Tips & Limitations

• Credit Management: Be mindful that every enrichment action consumes credits from your Apollo account. Always check your usage at apollo.io/settings/credits to avoid service interruptions.
• Filtering: Use the -x or --exclude-competitors flag when searching to automatically filter out known competitor entities like Hathora or Nakama.
• Bulk Operations: For large lists, utilize the bulk-enrich command to process up to 10 contacts simultaneously, which is significantly more efficient than individual requests.
• Data Privacy: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to process and store the contact data retrieved through this API, adhering to GDPR and CCPA compliance requirements.
